You do two experiments. In the first experiment you have two groups of 25 people (i.e. 50 people
in total), use a t test for independent groups, set alpha = .05 one tailed and calculate beta to be
.15. In the second experiment you have 200 people, do a t test for correlated groups, set alpha =
.01 two tailed and calculate beta to be .25. Which experiment is more powerful? (i.e. the power is
higher)
a) the first
b) the second
c) both are t tests, so they are equal
d) it is impossible to tell from this information
